This is my first time through Rostja. Everything is going well, but I lost that battle at Dashur. I just wanted to know if I am screwed? Will another chance to open the trade route come or should I restart?

Sorry but I can't. I decided that I wasn't going to wast expensive infantry anymore by sending it to a town where it was killed for reasons I xcouldn't figure out. So I sent cheap archers the first two times, then the trade route was opened anyway by diplomacy, by then my econ was so good I could afford to send infantry on the next request and then my infantry + archers combo mopped up the enemy troops and I got the heroes return message.
I had no trouble at all dealing with the lousy armies that attacked at Rostja itself - one even consistently lands on the wrong side of the river.
